“Angharad assisted us with gaining approval for a new menage in Dartmoor National Park that we had had initially refused. She was extremely knowledgeable guiding us through the process for appeal and did a wonderful planning appeal that addressed all the points raised by DNP planning authority. Angharad really took the time to research our situation and the local planning policy to ensure we stood the best chance of making a successful appeal. We were delighted when it was later approved. We really can’t thank her enough for her professionalism and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking similar assistance”
